Background

The Risk Assessment and Management Commission held its first

meeting on May 16, 1994 (Federal Register 59/FR22615/Vol. 59, No. 83,

May 2, 1994.) The Commission was established by Congress to make a full

investigation of the policy implications and appropriate uses of risk

assessment and risk management in regulatory programs under various

Federal laws to prevent cancer and other chronic human health effects

which may result from exposure to hazardous substances.

It is expected that the Commission members will review and discuss

the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council/Committee on

Risk Assessment of Hazardous Air Pollutants report entitled Science and

Judgment in Risk Assessment (1994) during the next three meetings. If

you would like a copy of this document, please write to Dr. James Reisa

at the National Academy of Sciences, 2101 Constitution Avenue, NW.,

Washington, DC 20007. The Commission will address its scope of work,

its relevance to various agencies and statutes, and various

organizational matters.
